Forbes reveal the top 100 highest-paid entertainers in 2015

Forbes have released the list of the 100 highest-earning entertainers of 2015 and it will once again make you regret putting a premature end to a burgeoning athletic/acting/music career when you were younger.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio top the list at one and two after their long-awaited and ultimately disappointing fight that earned them more money than most of us can ever dream of. One Direction came in at number four but there's five - now four - to share the stake with, while Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are the only female representatives in the top ten but they don't have to share with anyone. You can see the top 100 in full here.
